macintosh II, IIx IIfx

The mac II was the ultimate expandable mac. Based on the new 68020 processor, the mac II was the first 32-bit mac (although it was not "32-bit clean"). The mac II included 6 nubus slots, which allowed for a number of different apple and third party expansion cards. The mac II was the first mac with color capabilities. A graphics card could be installed capable of handling up to 16.7 million colors! tThe Mac II cames with one 800 KB floppy disk drive and one 40 MB internal SCSI hard disk drive.

The mac IIx was essentially the same as a mac II, but had a 68030 processor with a 68882 FPU (it was the first Mac with either).

The mac IIfx was the fastest mac ever built at the time. The IIfx shipped in a mac II-style case, and could accommodate up to two super drives and internal SCSI hard disk. The IIfx also contained a number of proprietary ASICs designed to speed up the machine further. These required software written specifically for the IIfx to run at top speed, but either way it was an extremely powerful machine.
